About

As a youth sports dad, former D1 player, coach, and athletic director, I know firsthand the impact sports can have on people. Sports opened doors I never imagined. Opportunities to play and live abroad, travel the world, and learn life lessons that had nothing to do with the scoreboard. Those lessons are what I'm passing on to my kids now, and what I believe every young athlete deserves access to. But I've also lived the other side. I've been in the athletic director's chair, managing tight budgets, dealing with coach turnover, chasing down uniform orders, and trying to figure out how to compete with programs that had way more resources. I know what it's like to care deeply about your program and still feel like you're barely keeping up. Now I'm a sports dad watching it unfold from a different angle. My son is all in on youth sports. My daughter is more into the arts. So I see what families are looking for when they decide where to spend their time and money. And I understand that the impact of sports goes way beyond the field. It's about the confidence, the friendships, the skills that shape who kids become. That's why I'm at Signature Athletics. We're building an ecosystem to make youth sports more accessible and affordable for every family by connecting programs with sponsorships, resources, and a community of operators who are figuring this out together. I spend my days talking with program directors across the country, learning what's working, and sharing it through the Program Director's Playbook, a weekly newsletter for operators who want to run smarter and create better experiences. If you're a program director, coach, or anyone in the youth sports world, I'd love to connect and hear your story.
